Welcome to the ASCC

Posted on April 21, 2013 by PaulW

The Australian Sailing and Cruising Club is a club for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people and their friends in Sydney and across Australia. We welcome boats and boaters of all types – sail, power, dinghy, windsurf, kite, kayak – if it floats, you’re welcome to join in!

The Club is based in Sydney and organises regular events during the year both on the water and the land – guests and visitors to Sydney are welcome – you don’t have to own a boat to be a member.

Our Social meetings are held at 7.30 pm on the third Tuesday of each month at the Lord Roberts Hotel, 64 Stanley St, East Sydney, upstairs in a function room between the restaurant and the terrace.  All are welcome.

Note also, that is the weather is good on other weekends, there is a decent chance that some member’s will be taking their boats out for an “unofficial” event, usually planned last minute, once forecasts are available.

What a day at Athol Bay

So those of us who decided not to sit at home and doing the laundry or DIY on ANZAC day had a fabulous day at Athol Bay Beach for a picnic with a fabulous view of the harbour.

The forecast was spot on at 22 Deg but it was even warmer in the brilliant sunshine – so it was ideal picnic weather. And some even went swimming as the water is still warm – even one of the dogs swam from the boat to the shore to join in.
